Thomas P. Ciancio, a former employee of the software company founded by Rex Fowler, was identified today as the man found dead hours after Fowler was critically injured after being shot at his office complex.

The Adams County Coroner said Thursday afternoon that Ciancio was shot more than once in the head and the wounds do not appear to be self-inflicted.

The autopsy and investigation suggests that Ciancio is a homicide victim, Coroner James Hibbard said in a press release.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office said that only Fowler and Ciancio were involved in the incident, which is still being investigated.

Ciancio, 42, is described in business papers as a one-time president of Fowler Software Design.

Initial 911 calls to the Adams County Sheriff’s Department about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday said Fowler’s shooter was a disgruntled former employee.

Yesterday, Adam’s County Sheriff’s officials said shots were not fired by SWAT members who found the body identified as Ciancio’s.

Ciancio was a resident of Castle Rock, said Hibbard.

Fowler, 58, underwent surgery Wednesday afternoon and was listed in critical condition this morning, according to the hospital.
